ENQUIRIES FOR USED 18-tonners with 27ft curtainsider bodies have soared, says Paul Diamond, truck sales executive at Road Range, the MercedesBenz dealership in Wavertree. Liverpool."If I had 10 in stock I could sell every single one of them,he reports. "In fact I'm thinking of re-bodying some 18-tonners to meet the demand.
"There's a lot of interest in late-registered 18-tonne skip-loaders too but unfortunately, there aren't many of them about.I think the guys who buy skiploaders run them into the ground."
Phil Holmes. group used sales director at Burton-on-Trent Scania dealership East Midland Commercials, is also seeking curtainsiders and skiploaders at 18 tonnes. "There's a severe shortage,he explains,"and you have to go out there and look for them."
